Terminator Genisys
Story: The story
was quite good, quite fresh and really is a great take on the whole time
travel plot of the series. Although there are a few plot
holes here and there, it is overall a
great story that is entertaining and keeps you interested.
8/10
Cast: The cast
was great; Emilia Clarke was phenomenal as Sarah Connor, even pulling off a
great American accent. Jai Courtney also plays Kyle Reese
well and Jason Clarke puts in an
amazing performance as John Connor. However, the biggest
praise goes to the big man
himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who reprises his role as the
terminator and shows that
even in his advanced age, he can still put on a wonderful
performance. 10/10
Sound and sight: They
brought back the old theme song which really got me watching the
movie and the way it was filmed was great, a typical action
movie which I enjoy a lot .
The explosions were great and so were the shooting scenes
and overall, it was a great sight
to behold. However, the cgi was a bit off in some parts.
Overall: Great
cast with great directing and story make for a great movie that features a
classic. If the director keeps this up, I can see another
trilogy coming up for Terminator.

10-B
A few
weeks ago I watched Ant-Man. I found this movie really fun to watch,
because of its hilarious script, great action scenes, and its never-ending
comic relief. For those of you who don’t know, the original Ant-Man in the
comic book universe, Hank Pym, creates a suit that lets him shrink down to the
size of an ant. In Marvel’s movie adaptation, however, Hank is an old and
retired Ant-Man who gives his suit to Scott Lang. I really liked the
cinematography of this film because it would be following an ant- sized man
beating up the bad guys, so the audience would see a speck and henchmen flying
around.
Overall,
I’d give this film a 7.5/10. Why? Well I do think Ant-Man is a good film
but compared to legends like Titanic or The Godfather, Ant-man
doesn’t really have that extra “oomph” like the two movies mentioned above.
However, in the end, Ant-Man is still something nice to watch; it does
have its moments and is an action-packed film.
